Hi, 2007/5/23, Romano Giannetti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: [cut]
Uf, I will try to find the time. I am on my way to try to compile 2.6.21.2 now. Problem is that a kernel compile "the ubuntu way" last hours here. If there is an expert on make-kpkg here, I could use some advise. I'd prefer to test patches over a 2.6.21 stable release, to avoid mixing symptoms from an experimental -rc...
Is not the ubuntu or debian way to take hours to compile. Is that you have to trim the config and enable the only modules you need for your hardware, then a rebuild cycle could last 10-15 min. You will spend one hour once to cut down the configuration, but then you can reuse the .config for new kernels too with make oldconfig. To find the minimum configuration for you hardware use lspci -v, menuconfig help, and look at chapter 7 and 8 of Linux Kernel in a Nutshell: http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ Also, pasting "lspci -n" output in the following page can be of some help: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ Hope this helps.
